People say that love and obsession are two different things that are hardly related. Do you think the same? In reality, these are opposite sides of the same coin.
The question that comes to mind is, can obsession be so intense that it blurs the thin line between right and wrong?
To see these things better let’s dive into the journey of A merciless, cruel king and a common village girl.
This is the tale of a ruthless tyrant, Eric Leonor, and his obsession which brought a drastic change in the life of the one whom he loves.
What will happen to the girl who catches the king’s eye? She is not only the king’s obsession but his slave too. She is the most beautiful slave in his harem.
Her name is as serene as her looks. Isabelle lived a beautiful life until the time when the king attacked her village. She was made a slave. She does not know if her family is alive or not. But she knew what would be her destiny when she stepped into the Dark Palace.   
She knew she will become a slave to the king and she will have to bear this cruelty upon her.

A Tale of Dark Lust

The king leaves my neck and pushes me towards the floor. I put my hand on my neck as I try to inhale as much air as I can. Now my neck is in pain too. My breathing is irregular along with the beating of my heart.

/"I wanted to punish you for doing this but I want to be generous to you because I love you. I am going to give you two options, Isabelle. You can choose only one of them. I have thought about this a lot and now I think I can be this generous to the woman I love. It is your choice which you want to choose/". I look towards the king with my blurry vision. I cannot see his face clearly because of the tears.

I wipe my eyes so that I can see him clearly. He is going to give me two options. I am surprised that he even thought to give me a choice. He is a cruel king then how can he be generous? I am sure that I will dislike both options but still, I have this tiniest bit of hope that maybe one option proves to be in my favor.
